Azalina to table motion to suspend Kit Siang

A motion to suspend DAP supremo Lim Kit Siang is expected to be tabled at the Dewan Rakyat Wednesday.

Minister in the Prime Minister's Department Datuk Seri Azalina Othman said she would table the motion later in the evening.

"The motion is ready and it has been signed," Azalina told reporters Wednesday.

The motion has been sent to Dewan Rakyat Speaker Tan Sri Pandikar Amin Mulia's office, who has the prerogative to approve it.

On Monday, Lim accused Pandikar of abusing his power when he temporarily suspended the Public Accounts Committee (PAC) probe into the 1Malaysia Development Berhad.

On Tuesday, Pandikar had ordered Lim to retract and apologise for his allegations or face suspension.
